3 Hot Tips #2: Cortisol =misunderstood. Stop skipping type II fibers. "Therapy"
I DO THE LEARNING FOR YOU! 👏. This is a 50 second read.
Each post covers 3 things to help you get strong + lean (IDEAS AND YOUR INPUT IS REQUESTED😊):
1-🔥 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵, 𝗳𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 & 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 (𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲):
Cortisol isn't bad.
It's supposed to go up in order to wake us up; turn us "on" in times of stress (even good stress like exercise or performance).
Many of us never fully come back down. Thanks to busy-ness, demanding schedules, traffic, mean people, doom-scrolling, etc ... CORTISOL stays stuck in "go mode" & our bodies pay the price over time.
Today: Spend 2 minutes doing something that makes your body feel safe, calm, and unhurried.

2-💪 𝗙𝗔𝗤: 𝗘𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝘁
Type I muscle (slow-twitch) fibers help us with endurance and daily activities.
Type II muscle (fast-twitch) fibers = strength, power, and muscle growth. We lose this as we age
How to know you're training for type II:
➜ Lift heavy-ish reps in the 8 to 18 reps range, get close to "failure"
➜ Lift heavy and intense enough where at least a minute rest is required in between sets
You can train with me, with the cues required to stimulate type II fibers here! (15 min free workout)

𝟯- 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜’𝗺 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻g/𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴, 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗷𝗼𝘆𝗳𝘂𝗹:
Receiving therapy + life/leadership coaching (Thank you Lana in Toronto).
Long story short, they've helped me become more self-aware and rely less on my environment and others to determine how I feel.
𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗺𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝘆.
If someone's mad at home, work and I'm caught in the crossfire, (or even if I unintentionally offended someone), I can remind myself that I'm not in danger (𝘉𝘺𝘦-𝘣𝘺𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘭) and that I didn't do anything wrong.
Often a valuable lesson is even learned ➜ Having more agency over myself feels really good.
